Erin C @RT01079069 06/30/2025 I generally do not like writing reviews but looking at some of the negative reviews from audience ratings compelled me to. One gave it a low rating because they were so incensed that a 12 year old wouldn't know what a period is. Her mother is a mess! that's part of the story. The truth is there's a lot of kids that aren't raised in a healthy environment so that makes the movie much more poignant. I thought the acting was good and the young girl especially good acting. I don't rate movies comparative to the entire cinematic history of mankind. I rate them based on the genre they are in, the budget and the type of film. In this category this is one of the best.

Unable to relate to the primary focus, given that I lack a uterus, they did such a great job creating likable, if flawed, characters and get you emotionally invested in their lives. For young women "experiencing womanhood" for the first time, and their mothers, a definite recommend. It's generally good for woman empowerment, and even has a little, "OMG, I'm dating a mom with a teen/tween daughter" in it. I want to talk about a big moment in the movie, but those are the weakest parts. The strength of the movie is the 95% that is the small things: the dysfunctional family relationships. Those are some of my favorite sitcoms over the years and someone saw how to write those moments into a feature film on top of a first period story. I want to reiterate that the main 3 actors really nailed their roles beautifully. Great movie: I could easily see watching this again sometime.

Seemed badly acted at times, but yet no reviewers came out criticizing the movie. I wondered if they were afraid to say it for fear of reaction. See more 02/04/2018 Really disappointed with how it seems like more and more movies are promoting kids being so disrespectful to there parents. The mom in this movie was not perfect but I think the mouth on the girl was above and beyond disrespectful. I have 3 daughters 10, 2 & 5 months and honestly I wouldn't let any of them watch this because of how bratty they had the child actor be! I get being on your period but I do not think in any way it permits being nasty, cold, cussing, fighting or many of the other things this movie portrayed for coming of the age! & in know way do I want my girls thinking this behavior is appropriate!I wish there could be a nice clean movie with a child who isn't written to be so horribly disrespectful. The best part was the first 10 mins and then the end it was a very slow movie of watching ridiculous behavior. See more 01/30/2018 Very cute movie all around. Katee Sackhoff is wonderful as the mom.
